Remote support apparatus
A remote support apparatus remotely supports a travelling of a vehicle. The remote support apparatus communicates wirelessly with the vehicle. The remote support apparatus wirelessly acquires an image of a view in a travelling direction of the vehicle and display the acquired image by a displaying device of the remote support apparatus. The image is taken by an imaging device of the vehicle. The remote support apparatus displays an inner rear wheel line in the image displayed by the displaying device while the vehicle is turning. The inner rear wheel line is a line along which an inner rear wheel of the vehicle during vehicle turning is predicted to move.
1 . A remote support apparatus of remotely supporting a travelling of a vehicle,
the remote support apparatus comprising a controller which communicates wirelessly with the vehicle,
wherein the controller is configured to:
wirelessly acquire an image of a view in a travelling direction of the vehicle;
display the acquired image on a displaying device of the remote support apparatus, the image being taken by an imaging device of the vehicle;
display, on the displaying device, an inner rear wheel line overlapping the image displayed by the displaying device while the vehicle is turning, the inner rear wheel line being a line along which an inner rear wheel of the vehicle during vehicle turning is predicted to move; and
control remote operation of the vehicle based on the image displayed by the displaying device with the inner rear wheel line overlapped, and
wherein the controller is configured to:
display the inner rear wheel line at a position in the image, the position being a position where the inner rear wheel of the vehicle is predicted to move; and
predict the inner rear wheel line having a length such that the length when a steering angle of the vehicle is equal to a first predetermined steering angle, is shorter than the length when the steering angle of the vehicle is a second predetermined steering angle greater than the first predetermined steering angle.
2 . A remote support apparatus of remotely supporting a travelling of a vehicle,
the remote support apparatus comprising a controller which communicates wirelessly with the vehicle,
wherein the controller is configured to:
wirelessly acquire an image of a view in a travelling direction of the vehicle;
display the acquired image on a displaying device of the remote support apparatus, the image being taken by an imaging device of the vehicle;
display, on the displaying device, an inner rear wheel line overlapping the image displayed by the displaying device while the vehicle is turning, the inner rear wheel line being a line along which an inner rear wheel of the vehicle during vehicle turning is predicted to move; and
control remote operation of the vehicle based on the image displayed by the displaying device with the inner rear wheel line overlapped, and
wherein the controller is configured to display the inner rear wheel line in the image when a steering angle of the vehicle is equal to or greater than a predetermined displaying steering angle.
3 . The remote support apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to display the inner rear wheel line in the image when a travelling speed of the vehicle is equal to or smaller than a predetermined displaying speed.
4 . The remote support apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to display the inner rear wheel line in the image when the inner rear wheel line crosses an object in the image.
5 . The remote support apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the controller is configured to display the inner rear wheel line in the image when a travelling speed of the vehicle is equal to or smaller than a predetermined displaying speed.
6 . The remote support apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the controller is configured to display the inner rear wheel line in the image when the inner rear wheel line crosses an object in the image.
